Summer Pest Pressure at Its Peak

Peak populations with standing water from summer storms. Disease risk (West Nile, Zika) highest now.

German and American roaches thrive in heat and humidity. Kitchens and bathrooms are primary targets.

Nests reach maximum size by mid-summer. Paper wasps build under eaves, porches, and playground equipment.

Most active at night during hot months. Bark scorpions enter homes through weep holes and cracks.

Mound activity peaks. One queen can produce 1,500 eggs per day in ideal summer conditions.
